is this a trail only rig, or is this street driven?
heims are not street legal and won't pass inspection. plus you have to ream out your knuckles and pitman arm.

also, heims are sloppy compared to tie rods for the most part.

Laws vary by state, so you really should see if they are legal or not where you live.
